Background: According to findings from STEM Learning, the largest provider of STEM education and careers support in the UK, the shortage is costing businesses £1.5 billion a year in recruitment, temporary staffing, inflated salaries and additional training costs.
The STEM Skills Indicator reveals that nine in 10 (89%) STEM businesses have found it difficult to hire staff with the required skills in 2017 - 18, leading to a current shortfall of over 173,000 workers - an average of 10 unfilled roles per business. Building the future pipeline of skills will therefore be key to maintaining the UK’s standing in the STEM sector. Yvonne Baker, Chief Executive, STEM Learning said:
“We need to be in a better position to home grow our talent but it cannot be left to government or schools alone – businesses have a crucial role to play too.
STEM Learning bridges the gap between businesses and schools. By working with us to invest in teachers in local schools and colleges, employers can help deliver a world-leading STEM education, inspiring young people and building the pipeline of talent in their area, making it a win-win for everyone.”
